Commercial & industrial rooflights in Flitwick: what is involved?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Flitwick covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Flitwick sits about 3 km from Ampthill and 13 km from Dunstable, and we cover the whole MK45 postcode district and the roads in between.

Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Flitwick
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
